Beauty

This tag is for this week's challenge at Just Us Girls which is a colour theme of Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue and Really Rust

I had a slight struggle with the colours on this one and hope they came out as they should.

I cut a tag from white card in my current favourite arch shape and then painted it with acrylic paints. I stamped a large background design on the top and embossed it with clear. I then stamped a row of borders from Technique Tuesday Bijou Borders set in Pearlescent Rust and embossed them with clear powder. The image is from Dezinaworld and was mounted on pumpkin orange card. To finish, I glued a brass stamping at the top, added paper flowers (the centre one was painted with Orange Peel H20 paint) and stamped text from B Line Designs in the rust ink.

Very pretty creation Fliss! I love the all over vintage look - that multi colored/layered flower embellie adds such a nice touch! Great job with the Just Us Girl color challenge! I hope you join us Saturday for a fun template challenge :)
